That iCloud seems pretty cool. You know what else is cool? White shirts. Red shirts. Yellow shirts, even. Maybe a green shirt.
Another year, another potentially monumental announcement made in an underwhelming pair of Dad jeans and a plain black tee shirt.
Yesterday, at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference in San Fransisco, CEO and sharp dresser Steve Jobs announced a new system of storing data and synchronizing that data over devices, known simply as the iCloud. Rather than storing all of one’s data – such as photos, music and other such information – on a laptop or home computer and subsequently matching all of the relevant data to the pertinent device, one simply has to upload all of that information to the Cloud, and each device will be seamlessly integrated and synchronized. There will also be a feature matching what songs you may have already purchased from iTunes, saving you storage space
The notion to begin such an undertaking began when separate devices began hosting similar capabilities. Consider everything your iPod can do now, with video, photos, apps, etc. versus what it could do when it first came out. In fact, Apple already attempted to seize a clouding service, known as MobileMe, but it failed to live up to the hype.
It is still yet to be determined whether or not the iCloud will live up to its own hype. What is certain is that even if it’s a failure, OH LOOK A NEW IPHONE! I WANT SEVEN OF THEM NOW! IN WHAT COLOR?! SEVEN MORE IN WHITE PLEASE.
